Managed to play Ballantyne at 9am on Sunday for $40 thanks to the ClickIt deal. Best deal of the year in my opinion.

Love this course, hope they keep the deals coming. The course is always in near perfect condition. Tees, fairways, greens and bunkers were all great. A guy even came around with ice towels for everyone to help keep cool.

I wish the greens were bent grass though, I find that the greens here can be tricky because of the grain. But don’t let their appearance fool you, they are still lightning fast.

However the only real issue (small one) I have with this course is that the greens are very hard. Bring your softest, highest spinning Pro V1s if you want to go flag hunting at the back pins.

We had a 7:40/7:48 tee time on Sunday (7/22) and I agree with everything that is posted on this review. I would really like to state that the greens were superfast. Probably lost about 3-4 strokes. The bermuda rough was a bit high for my liking. It was like they were trying to make it play like it was the US Open. Course was perfect and the staff were very friendly.
